Zecca needlepoint

I was on a roll with a blog post a day until I wasn’t. Oh well, that means I was packing and shipping goodies for you! Kathy can’t decide which canvas she wants to stitch in Zoom-bellishment next weekend so let’s help her choose? She has them both, ahem, so that won’t affect the decision. […]
